It’s all about crashing in this week’s That Thing You Missed. Jake “The Snake” Roberts crashes and burns while singing at a Braves game, Bryce Harper crashes into the wall, Manny is being Manny in Taiwan, an undergrad crashes into a catcher and Dwyane Wade crashes a prom.

Prom Playmaker

Heat star Dwyane Wade hit the hardcourt this weekend. No you didn’t miss a Heat game – D-Wade surprised a Florida girl at her high school prom.

The Cora Gables senior took to YouTube to ask the point guard to be her date – but didn’t really expect him to show up.

Jake “The Snake” Roberts miraculously survived a drug and booze-fueled life of violence in the wrestling ring.

Now, after a life of head butts, face slams and alleged crack smoking –I swear singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the seventh inning stretch of the Braves-Dodgers game Friday night nearly killed him. Or at least cost him a lung.

Needless to say, it was absolutely terrible. Well, he is known for terrorizing people, after all.

Roberts is now sober and while it’s endearing to see the guy doing so well… It’s Atlanta, ya’ll. You couldn’t find one real recording artist to take the gig?
